Saini urges traders to pass GST benefits to consumers
Haryana chief minister Nayab Singh Saini on Saturday urged traders across the state to ensure that the full benefits of the Central government’s reduced GST rates are passed on to consumers.
He said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, GST reforms have provided significant benefits to the people of India. Saini called upon traders to actively participate in promoting the “GST Bachat Utsav,” which aims to make goods and services more affordable. He highlighted that this initiative will not only boost trade but also enable consumers to purchase essential items at lower prices. Affordable prices, growing trade, and a strong economy are the core spirit of the “GST Bachat Utsav”, which will take Haryana to new heights of progress, he said.
Saini said that the state’s net SGST collection increased from ₹18,910 crore in 2018-19 to ₹39,743 crore in 2024-25 and that this achievement reflects Haryana’s strong economy.
